    First, I have to send a thank you to CNC (Clayton Thom, Damian Forbes, and Cam Zerpoli) to make this happen. What a fantastic team. Great people and very easy to work with. If you need a Ferrari or any other car, you must visit CNC. I highly recommend them.
    Second, special thanks to Jason (x-caliber) for making the car glow. he makes the paint come alive. Great job Jason.
    And last but not least, I have to say thank you to two of my friends (F-chat members Raffpal and MrRdstr) whom recommended this purchase and put my doubts into rest.
    I've had my doubt going back from a 360 to 355 but I have to say I am loving the 355. Even though, It's slower than 360, but it's fantastic to drive. It's smaller and more agile. It's a pure Ferrari. My 360 was rosso scuderia but TDF blue looks fantastic on F355.

    Very nice color.
    Good to hear you prefer the 355 over the 360.

    I've never driven or been in a 458 but I would have thought the 458 was similar in feeling connected to the driver.

    Absolutely gorgeous. This is much more interesting than a 360. One of the few cars that looks as good with top up or down.

    Many Happy Miles !!!

    I love driving my go-cart. Did 200+ miles this weekend, mostly along the coast and up in the twisties. Felt like I was on my motorcycle with all the sunshine and air. Have not had the top up yet this year.

    :)

    Wow. Gosh. That blue is stunning.

    I'm a new 355 Spider owner as well, although mine is red/tan. Just got it back from the engine-out service, and it is a fantastic drive.

    Enjoy it!

    Arthur, sending you a PM. I'm in Porter Ranch too...sort of. I stay there periodically during the year when there is no tenant in our rental home. <Edit> Hey, I just looked closer at your pictures and you took them up the street from the new school next to my development! You must live close by.

    Thanks guys for kind remarks.
    I was never a fan of spiders and I even had a Boxster S long time ago which I didn't open the top much. But this car is different. I am really enjoy driving top down even on the freeway. Last Sunday we had a nice drive, sponsored by AG, in the canyons and it was fantastic. And the most amazing part is the sound.
    Greg, I pm'd you my cell phone number.

    Do you guys recommend Tubi or capristo on this car?

    Wow, looks absolutely fantastic, congratulations! Just bought one myself (hence my first post) , also blue, though with a cuoio naturale rather than beige interior. Delivery end June, though pushing the Ferrari dealer so I can get it earlier!
